Also, was unaware of William Rees-Mogg’s influence on this ‘technological coup’ until reading this piece. What harm that family have done to the UK and the world.

The effects of the House’s proposed “Medicaid cuts to pay for tax cuts” in one graph: a 3.9% boost in income for the top 1% of households and a 7.4% reduction in income for the bottom fifth of households. In two words: class warfare. www.epi.org/blog/the-hou...

BREAKING: In a stunning moment of defiance, Maine's Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump, saying she is complying with state and federal (anti-discrimination) law, and will see him in court over his threat to withhold federal funds. This is incredible.

80th day of the protests in European Georgia. This is Tbilisi tonight. Look at that crowd. 80 days of this. That’s how you resist a Putin-backed coup.

PROTESTING THREAD. I cut my teeth protesting vs. Jean Marie Le Pen in France. The French are master protesters. We can learn a lot from them. 1st thing to know: there is no such thing as "too late." We can protest before, during, and after a coup. Eastern Europe did it under tyranny. So can we.

I’m getting really fed up of these abstract attacks on ‘regulation’ - why is Andy Haldane advocating the Doge approach for UK - blanket halving the number of regulators and their budgets? on.ft.com/416pqlx 1/2

Israel released 90 hostages in Gaza then took 90 new hostages in the West Bank. This is what Israel does and this is the vile colonial violence it’s founded on, beyond any kind of reform

It is a source of endless frustration for me that the fact Reform is a limited company owned by Nigel Farage isn't given more attention. Every time that Reform or Farage are interviewed this should be probed and questioned. They are held to such a lower standard than any other party.

Pretty sure it's not up to women to "think carefully" about taking a higher-paid job than their partner. It's up to their partner to get the fuck over himself and be pleased for her.
